A technician suspects there are logical file-system errors on a Windows 10 workstation's secondary drive (E:). Which Windows command-line utility should the technician run to scan the volume and automatically fix any detected errors?
The correct command is chkdsk. Running chkdsk E: /f checks the file system for logical errors and, with the /f switch, automatically fixes them.
Why the others are incorrect:
diskpart manages partitions and volumes but does not scan for or repair file-system errors.
format erases and recreates the file system; it is not used for diagnostic repair.
sfc (System File Checker) validates protected Windows system files, not the integrity of an entire disk volume.
Reference: Microsoft documentation states that chkdsk "checks the file system and file system metadata of a volume for logical and physical errors" and can "fix errors on the disk" when used with appropriate switches.
